Premiere: Watch Rich Jones' great video for new song 'Everything'

Chicago's Rich Jones has long been a fixture of the local hip-hop and DIY scenes—he was the Chicago Reader's runner-up Hip-Hop Artist of 2016 behind Chance the Rapper. Be it through his own music, which most recently culminated in his project "Pink Slips," or his monthly hip-hip showcase at Tonic Room called All Smiles, Jones is one of the hardworking sparkplugs that makes the community thrive.

Now, he's ready to make another leap. Premiering exclusively with RedEye is "Everything," the first song off his forthcoming project "Vegas," which is due out in January. The Ryan Lofty-produced song is great. While Jones has always seamlessly blended soul with his loose and dynamic rap flow, this song showcases his keen ear for a radio-ready pop hook. Listen below by watching its affecting video, which was directed by Cody Laplant (who filmed the clip for Kweku Collins' "Stupid Rose").
